Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 2.1R and find that vi won't read either .exrc or .nexrc in my home directory. As a work-around, I've enabled reading the initialization file in the cwd but it's a pain to have to create sucha a file in every directory from which I may want to run vi. Am I overlooking something or is this a known bug in vi or, perhaps, a "feature" :) ? A less important question but, while on the subject of vi, what must I do to rurn off the warning that is is *not* loading my .[n]exrc file because I am not the owner when I run % sudo vi some.system.file Thanks for any help. Best regards, Charlie Sorsby crs@hamlet.lanl.gov
